# Deep Post Ideas

Extract 5 distinct, high-engagement post outlines from reference materials. Focus on paradoxical truths, transformational narratives, and powerful insights — outlines only, not complete posts.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Analyze Reference Material

From the user's input, identify:

- Core themes and transformational insights
- Counterintuitive truths and paradoxes
- Core problems and pain points
- Aspirational archetypes
- Reader objections
- Key insights or wisdom
- Potential metaphors and powerful narratives
- Universal principles with emotional resonance

### Step 2: Develop 5 Post Concepts

For each concept:

1. Choose a counterintuitive truth from the reference material
2. Frame it as an absolute principle
3. Develop short, practical examples
4. Build a narrative arc: destruction/challenge -> revelation -> transcendence
5. Craft a memorable closing insight

### Step 3: Output 5 Outlines

For each outline, provide:

```
POST OUTLINE [N]:

- Core Paradox: [Central counterintuitive truth]
  - [Rephrase 3 ways, getting shorter each time]

- Key Quotes:
  - [Quote 1 from reference material]
  - [Quote 2]
  - [Quote 3]

- Transformation Arc: [Challenge -> revelation -> transcendence]

- Core Problems:
  - [Problem 1 — tangible, relatable]
  - [Problem 2]
  - [Problem 3]

- Key Examples:
  - [Example 1 — concrete illustration]
  - [Example 2]
  - [Example 3]

- Reader Objections:
  - [Objection 1 — written as the reader]
  - [Objection 2]
  - [Objection 3]

- Aspirational Statement: [1-2 sentences on traits/skills to develop]

- Actionable Steps: [3+ staccato-style steps]

- Big Idea: [Transformational concept in 1-2 sentences]

- Memorable Closing Insight: [One sentence that ties everything together]
```

## Language Techniques

Apply across all outlines:

- Use second-person **"you"** consistently
- Employ imperative verbs: "Be", "Reset", "Let go"
- Create visual metaphors involving elemental forces
- Embrace absolutes: "never", "everything", "impossible"
- Avoid qualifiers, hedges, or uncertainty markers
- Use concrete timeframes for authority
- Create opposing pairs to highlight paradoxes

## Constraints

- Generate **outlines only**, not complete posts
- Focus on depth and emotional resonance over tactical advice
- Each outline must have a distinct theme
- Prioritize quality and engagement potential
- Don't add information not implied in the reference material

## Reference Examples
